There are people that specialize in trauma. I saw a psychologist that specialized in anxiety disorders and nowIi see a psychotherapist that is doing EMDR...CBT is a great way to help with the PTSD symptoms and helps to change our negative thoughts to positive thoughts. I am not sure which one...

I was just talking to a friend about yoga. I have 5 herniated discs and 3 torn discs, degenerative discs basically that is causing my spinal cord to kink so I do suffer from chronic pain as well. With your back injuries were you able to do the yoga? I am not sure if I could physically do it.

So now you have to stop running and tackle your traumas and fears. It really will feel like it gets really bad before it gets better but in the end you will benefit from getting it all out and out of your brain to stop the nightmare. You can do it..it just takes a lot of hard work and probably...

Thanx everyone for the positive comments.... Last night I filled out the forms for eharmony....too funny! Anyway they matched me with two people according to my profile but they both live in the US..though close. One was a registered nurse and the other a retired military..to get a picture...

Welcome to the forum. Please do not blame yourself for any of the bad things that happened. Having a mother that obviously was sick to allow a person to hurt her own daughter and then your friend committing suicide...they are both not your fault. One of the first steps in your healing is to...

Welcome to the forum. I am sure you will get a lot of support from many different people here both carers and sufferers.

Welcome to the forum!

Welcome to the forum. May the next decade bring you some much needed peace.

Welcome Ken...You will find a lot of very beneficial info here. I am sorry to hear about your childhood...sadly, many of here can relate. It takes work and time. It may get worse before it gets better but in the end you will benefit from healing your past.

I am just wondering if anyone has tried an on-line site and if it did or did not work and why or why not? I have seen plenty of fish and others that are free like that. There is also E-Harmony which has a low fee. Do you think that by paying and going to the site that actually has a charge...

I do not have a huge support system at all. We often have to become our own best friend at times to try and overcome the negative thinking. My support does come from the forum in a huge way, I talk to another forum member but she lives in the US. I have a few close friends but no family...

Thanx Herc..if I can do it and pull myself out of the pit I have been in..you can too!

I knew you would like this post She! Thanx for the support!

It definately gets worse before it gets better as you process your memories. I have been here three years and I used to have a lot of flashbacks from reading here but that is the idea and from experience this does get better too. It will come to a point where you are desensitizing yourself...

I definately do this..dissasociate. I find thay when someone starts yelling I feel myself go. It is like being in a tunnel..I just shut right off.It is hard to control and does not help to "stick up for yourself" in a situation where someone ie yelling at you but I just cannot control it. it...

Here's hoping!

Yep..I stay out too. One time I told them each that the other wanted to meet and then they did and the fight was over but that was over 20 plus years ago...now it is easier to stay out of it.

Thank you both... Nicolette...it sounds like a fairy tale..LOL. I think you guys have something that is very special and I am so happy for you both because of it. It is funny...when I do think positive about myself and think of being in a relationship. I get an excited feeling. If i am in...

Thanx Jline and I am..Well, it is 10:34..LOL..I am home, make-up washed off and in my pj's sitting on the couch!!! I had two coolers and a bit to eat and felt like I was going to VOMIT for the last hour sooooo, I came home. LOL..It really is ok...i did have a good time and wished I felt...

Well...the last 6 or 7 months the depression, and isolation has been as bad if not worse than it was 6 years ago when I fell apart so badly. I cannot live this way anymore and I know that I am the only one that is going to be able to change this and if I want a life, a good life I am going to...

It really is as hard or as challenging as we want it to be....I have been doing a lot of soul searching and signed up for a computer class thatgoes from sept to Jan!!! OMG and it is 8:30am- 11:30am..So...I will have something that makes me get up and get out of the house after my son goes to...

You are so very right! Now I just need to do that. I would think with the amout of therapy I have had, I would have an easier time with this but it is like pulling nails and teeth to get me to look at myself in a positive light. I need to continue to work on this. Life, sometimes it is hard...

Thanx I am..you are very lucky to have found someone that does love you unconditionally. I am still looking...maybe one day I will find that jewel. Unfortunately..the last couple for me..I am better off without them!

Thank you Adam for taking the time to answer. Maybe one day I will get this relationship thing right! It is so hard to know what is the right thing to do IMO. I have had trouble in my interpersonal relationships and would like to get it right next time! One relationship found out mid way...

I have a quick question and was just wondering if anyone would share. How in your relationship ( I guess this would be more for sexual abuse survivors and survivors of physical/emotional trauma) and when in your relationship did your loved one express there PTSD. How much detail was told? Did...
